DESCRIPTION:
Gone were the bulky "land boats" with their huge fins; instead, out came lean ponycars, like the Dodge Coronet 500 Convertible and the Ford Falcon, pumped up on big-inch, high-compression, multiple-carburetor equipped super-mills. Even now, three decades after these gas-guzzling greyhounds went out of style, they regularly attract new generations of admirers throughout the world.. Jim Campisano, editor in chief of Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords magazine, has written the ultimate, illustrated A to Z field guide of these supreme, extreme American vehicles. Though they were sold to the general public, any one of them, with only minor adjustments, could have won on the superspeedways of the NASCAR circuit. Feel the heat--the street heat from the 1960s and 70, when the meanest, fastest, and most powerful cars tore up the streets. Muscle cars came onto the market when Detroit's "big three" manufacturers (Chevy, Ford, and Pontiac) decided to compete for a younger, more performance-obsessed buyer at the end of the 1950s
William Tull said Great Book For Imformation. This book has a lot of imformation on every single muscle car, but their isn't anything on the Corvette which was once a muscle car. Their is great pictures. The way the cars are described is really good. It even has a price, and a horsepower guide and everything else about the best cars ever built. This is a Great Book. Buy It!!!
